Andy Addis-Biography

Andy Addis is a communicator for the 21^st Century.

Using humor, story-telling and real depth of teaching Andy has become a popular speaker throughout the South and Midwest.

During the last decade Andy has spoken and lead conferences like Super Summer Youth Camps, Fe

llowship of Christian Athletes events (Weekend of Champions, Game Day, and Coach’s Camp), Christian Challenge College Conferences, church revivals, men’s gatherings/retreats, Christian leadership/pastoral training events and a variety of one-day speaking opportunities.

As Andy’s speaking ministry grew he founded a ministry team called 180 Degrees. This team rounded out the event ministry format with Christian entertainment and worship professionals.

Andy is also pastor of a thriving congregation in Hutchinson, Kansas. In the three years that church has grown from 120 to more than 500, and added a satellite venue in 2006 to accommodate growth.

Becoming a follower of Christ as a teenager, Andy has an incredible testimony of growing up distant from God with many struggles. His story (while still in progress) now includes the miraculous move of God in him, his ministry and his extended family.

Andy has Bachelor and Masters degrees in communication from Fort Hays State University, and Master of Divinity with Biblical Languages degree from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.

Andy’s professional background has provided him several career opportunities:

· College Professor

· Radio On Air Personality

· Newspaper Journalist

· Church Staff Member

· Independent Speaker

Andy communicates well to age groups from children through adults, and loves to share the Good News of Jesus Christ to everyone he can.

Recommendations

Andy has a wonderful grasp of the culture in which students live, and he does a marvelous job of communicating to students. His story-telling is not only well received, but more importantly, enable his message to be remembered by students when they return home. Another reason I recommend Andy is because of his ability to connect with students beyond the worship service.

- Dr. Terry McIlvain, Director of Youth Ministry, Ks/Neb. Conv. of Southern Baptists

Central Christian School had the privilege of having Pastor Addis speak at our senior commencement in behalf of the 2005 graduates and was well received. He has also presented at several chapel programs as well as conducted this year's spiritual emphasis week. In all cases, Andy was highly effective in presenting God's Word in a way that was memorable and effective.

- Ralph Vogel, Superintendent Of Central Christian School

There were 1,200 in attendance and 107 made decisions - 60 of these were for salvation. Thanks! Thanks! and Thanks Again!

Andy speaks to the heart of students and doesn't compromise the message.

- Mike Lehew, Youth Pastor

Our kids carried a lot of the excitement home from camp with them (yeah!)...our youth group raved about how good camp was this year for weeks.

- Lisa Ludwig, youth camp sponsor

Andy has a real gift of delivering truth in a clear, concise manner. I always look forward to the times Andy was to speak, as did many of the people I know, and I would never have reservations in recommending him.

Everything you did was professional, thought through and well done. The attitude you exhibited in everything you did was one of ministry.
